Owen Election Board Rejects Two Provisional Ballots For ‘12 Primary

With just two provisional ballots to be either accepted or rejected, Owen County Election Board President Karen Weaver (left) and Vice President Margaret Tucker met with Owen County Clerk Jeff Brothers on Friday afternoon to review the circumstances surrounding each ballot.

Upon review, the board unanimously chose to reject both ballots. The first ballot rejected was due to a voter casting a ballot in the wrong precinct. The voter should have voted at Montgomery Township, instead of Washington IV. The second ballot was rejected due to the fact the voter failed to provide proper identification during the voter registration process. (Staff Photo)
